Quick, what kind of washer do I want? (Poll)

Murphy's Holiday Law has struck our house, as usual, so it look's like mama is getting a new washing machine for Christmas. (I swear, this is why my DH (dear husband) waits to go shoppimg for my gift until Christmas Eve every year.) He is insistent that I need a front loader, but I am the person who does 95% of the laundry, and I want a top loader, partly because I am afraid a front loader will leak. I can be stubborn with change, so please tell me about your washer, pros and cons, and sway us (let's face it, really me) one way or another. We have family coming in tomorrow so he is going to go get it after work and I probably won't physically see it as I don't have time to do a two hour round trip...

Also, if it matters, we are a family of five and use it A LOT, like, a lot, a lot.

My DH (dear husband) has a job where he comes home dirty every day, my teenage son has OCD and changes his clothes so often that he doubles my laundry each week, YDS has neurological issues and spills constantly, and DD (dear daughter) is three and likes to change her clothes almost as much as ODS, though she at least will wear hers again if she only had them in for ten minutes...

We just got this set in April and I love it! I was leaning towards front loading at first but I'm pretty tall and if I was going to get front loading, I wanted the raisers/storage drawer below and that alone is pricey. So top loading it was. More than happy with my decision! I was iffy about there being no agitator but our clothes always come out very clean.
